You will be working directly with a new physician that has been hired at your facility. On the day you meet her she says, "I plan to use more complementary medicine in my practice here. Because you will be working with my patients, I would like you to know more about it." You are not really sure what complimentary medicine is, so you set out to find out more about it. As you read this chapter, consider the following questions:

1			What is CAM?
2			What types of therapies are included in CAM?
3			How and when would you use your knowledge of CAM in your career as a medical assistant?
